When you host a site on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - an exclusive number which is used to detect every device connected to the Web. The website name which you use for the site is for easy accessibility and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP of the server. Considering that there are far more websites than IPs, shared web hosting servers use the same IP for a variety of sites even if they belong to different users. Even though this does not affect your site performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly enhance the loading speed of a given site, giving it superior rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so if you plan to protect the payment or login data that your site visitors submit, you need an IP alongside the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Hosting
If you use some of our hosting packages, you can add a dedicated IP address to your account without any difficulty and assign it to a domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you've picked for your account throughout the registration process, so you're able to take advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce website, for instance, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP since you can adjust each and every domain or subdomain individually through the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL from our company, you can use our auto-configuration tool, which will assign an IP and install the SSL automatically for the website where you want to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
With only a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to add one or several dedicated IP addresses to your Linux semi-dedicated hosting package and assign them to your sites. The Hosted Domains part of Hepsia will help you find the available IPs and to keep track of the ones which are in use in no time. Provided you want to get a new IP for an SSL certificate, you will be able to use the auto-configuration function, that's available in our SSL order wizard. When you activate this feature, you will not need to do anything after you post your order as our system will request a dedicated IP address, assign it to the domain or subdomain in question, then set up the SSL certificate - all of this automatically and without any action on your end. In this way, you'll be able to protect the data that visitors upload on your site even if you don't have any previous experience with this type of matters.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Since you can run almost anything on a dedicated server, all our packages feature three dedicated IP addresses included by default. If you plan to launch some server software or to activate an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you can use the IPs which we provide you with free of charge. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any domain name that you've registered with us or anywhere else and employ them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. When you have a website hosting company, for instance, this option will contribute to your credibility as an independent supplier. When you need more IP addresses than the three the plans include, you are able to buy extra ones in increments of 3 either throughout the signup process or through your billing Control Panel at any time.
